The biggest flaw that Super Megaforce has is that it makes Megaforce entirely pointless. There is literally no connection between Megaforce and Super Megaforce except for the final three episodes where the Armada is mentioned. The fleet by Malkor was written s something entirely different in the beginning than what they turned it in to. Vrak's existence was also pointless until the end of Megaforce, when he's suddenly revealed to be just the beginning of something more. There was no build up to it, just BAM there it is.
Megaforce would have been so much better if it had been treated as it actually is - nothing more than a build-up and lead-in to a true anniversary season that is Super Megaforce.
Now Super Megaforce is failing in so many ways because the creators choose to ignore the 20 years of history that came right before it. They created en elaborate universe, with everything set up to create an awesome anniversary, but choose to forcefully ignore everything that came before it in the worst possible way, only acknowledging the past when they have to because Sentai footage demands it.
With my version of Megaforce, they still get away with ignoring the 19 years before it until the very end, when the importance of Zordon finally comes to revelation. The idea is that the Megaforce Power Rangers are the *LAST* Power Rangers, and when they fail, Zordon's final plan is Super Megaforce, which are connected directly to his remaining energy. Creating a "vial of his energy" plot creates an actual reason for the powers to exist, as opposed to the "OH HERE YOU GO" plot we got from the actual premiere. Making the powers finite also gives the viewer a sense that these powers are not, and were never intended to last forever. They are truly the ultimate power up. Explaining what the Ranger Keys are gives both depth to the power they're using as well as making the toys even cooler sounding than they really are (because they're not that great).
Orion also being "finite" and "from another planet" removes the future plothole of "Why not just call Orion?" in future seasons. It also creates a better back story for the 6th Rangers and "Special" Rangers.
Having all the Power Rangers of the past keep their powers finally closes the door on the "What happened to?" question. It also allows the door to remain open for future cameos without having to create an explanation. I would like to write a reason for them not to use their powers anymore, possibly making the past powers finite as well ("our powers are now drawn from our own essence, meaning the more we morph, the weaker we become, thus we can only use our powers as a last resort. The days of Power Rangers saving the world may be at an end, but does the world need Power Rangers now that we've defeated the greatest evil in existence?")
The little bit at the end revives the old thing Power Rangers used to do in previewing the next season at the end of the current season. With Dino Charge being another dinosaur team, and the fact there's delicious MMPR/Dino Thunder footage in a crossover movie, it only makes sense to connect it to Mighty Morphin. Plus, having Zordon's power wash over the planet Earth thanks to Orion and the old Power Rangers, allows for an easy explanation to the creation of the Dino Prisms and the eventual Dino Charge powers.
So rather than create yet another new villain to conquer the Earth, why not have a new villain have the goal to bring back the greatest villain in the franchise? Instead of "DEBOSS" or whatever he's called, make it Lord Zedd, and tie it in to the beginning of the franchise and finally, FINALLY, use Dino Charge to end the homages to Mighty Morphin as ToQGer has absolutely nothing in it thus far that can be linked to previous Power Rangers series, allowing for a complete and total reboot.
